When standardized intelligence scores are graphed, they should create
A
an increasing slope
B
a normal bell curve
C
an equilateral figure
D
a negative correlation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Based on the 68-95-99.7 Rule, approximately 68% of the individuals in the population have an IQ between 85 and 115. Values in this particular interval are the most frequent. Approximately 95% of the population has IQ scores between 70 and 130. Approximately 99.7% of the population has IQ scores between 55 and 145.

Detailed explanation-2: -IQ test scores are derived from a Bell Curve distribution with a mean value and standard deviations The normed IQ score of the general population is 100, therefore; 100 is the center of the distribution. For most IQ tests, the standard deviation range is usually 15 points.

Detailed explanation-3: -The standard deviation is a measure of spread, in this case of IQ scores. A standard deviation of 15 means 68% of the norm group has scored between 85 (100 – 15) and 115 (100 + 15). Less than 60% of people have earned at least a 100.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because an individual’s score on an IQ test depends on a very large number of hereditary and environmental factors, the central limit theorem explains why the distribution of IQ scores is approximately normal.
